New York whitewater - Twentymile Creek, Chautauqua County

Chautauqua county, South Ripley to Lake Erie section whitewater kayaking, rafting, and paddling information.

 

CLASS II-IV     10.5 miles
  Whitewater rafting and kayaking spots in New York are harder than the national norm, so if you're not from around here don't forget that the rivers in this state are less manageable. The starting location is a short drive from Jamestown-Dunkirk-Fredonia, there's a road map further down the page with more info on that. There are no other sections to paddle along Twentymile Creek than the South Ripley to Lake Erie section. The South Ripley to Lake Erie section of Twentymile Creek in New York is 10.5 miles long and is rated by American Whitewater as a class
    II-IV section. There are some good hotels near the river, but if you don’t have reservations you might end up sleeping in your car. If you have the time you can make this a two day trip, so pack your camping stuff. The campgrounds here at Twentymile Creek are pretty good. Great
exercise and spending some quality time in nature will make you glad you came. The beautiful scenery of Chautauqua County and the playfulness of the water have people coming here. You might be into whitewater rafting or kayaking or both, doesn't matter, there are not so many other good places for that around here.

Briefly about the general area:
Twentymile Creek gets a great deal of water; of all the months in a year September is the one with the most rain, and February on the other hand is the driest.
A tremendous place to stop at near Twentymile
